Last year was a weird one as because of the pandemic, everything had come to a halt. Everything was affected because of Covid-19, and UFC was no different. However, as most sports faced losses because of the pandemic, the UFC not only dealt with it but thrived in the pandemic.

Now, though, the UFC has again done something great by allowing fans to be present at UFC 264. And seeing the ticket sales, we can say that the fans have responded with great enthusiasm.

What to expect from the UFC 264 event?

UFC 264 promises to be a great one, as there are some brilliant matches lined up for the night. The event has a match scheduled between Gilbert Burns and Stephen Thompson, which is going to be vital for the welterweight division.
